5 stars - AMAZING!!

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.

Review:WOW. I can not even begin to describe how amazing this book is. Mafi has created a captivating ending to a thrilling series. This final book blew me away and I loved every minute of it! It will grab a hold of you and not let go! There is so much suspense, action and romance packed into this book. Readers will learn more about favorite characters and will be rooting for them until the very end. This is a book that you do not want to miss! Ignite Me starts off where Unravel Me left off and we are immediately drawn into the story. Juliette is stuck with Warner and the others are somewhere unknown to us in the beginning. This final book gives us a lot more information about Warner and I loved it. He is definitely not all that he seems to be. I actually felt for him after hearing all his stories about his childhood and his mother. Juliette and Warner's relationship progresses in this book but I'll let you figure out just how much. I'm not sure if this is a spoiler but it happens pretty early on in the book so I'll just let you know. Adam and a small group are still alive. We don't get too much more information about Adam but we do see another side of his character. We see another favorite as well, Kenji. The relationship between him and Juliette is just plain awesome. I think my favorite part of this series is the characters. We learn so much about them and how some characters have way more to them than what we see. I don't want to share too much and ruin the surprises but this was a truly captivating book. There are some twists and turns and the ending felt right. I loved how much Juliette was able to grow in this book. She really took charge and picked herself up. She stopped feeling sorry for herself and figured out that she needed to become who she was meant to be. I'm not sure if what I'm saying is making sense but all I know is that you should read this book if you haven't yet. It is definitely going onto my favorites list as is the whole series. I'm glad that I was able to get into this series and I encourage you to read this book if you still haven't. So check it out today!!Vanessa
